Gimme Gimme Gimme!!!
The Alice in Wonderland trailer is out!!!
It looks damn good. Some of these casting choices are just inspired. You know how sometimes you hear about a casting choice and it just feels like all is right in the universe. It's a weird example, but when Snoop Dogg was cast as Huggy Bear in the Starsky and Hutch remake--I knew that was the work of a genius. And that movie really did kick some ass for what it was. It's damn funny.
If Tim Burton has ever made a bad film, this'll be the first I've heard of it. And lately, I'm having a total girl-crush on Helena Bonham Carter. And I'm sorry I coined the phrase Tim Burton's Disease to describe producers and/or directors who cast their wives in absolutely anything. I've accused Rob Zombie of having it several times now.
Anywhoo, Tim Burton is one of the only people I trust with these silly "reimaginings" that are all the rage right now. Willy Wonka was tits. Totally, totally tits. Sweeney Todd was a modern masterpiece, and I'm a connoisseur of such things. (How sad is it that I had to look up the spelling of connoisseur? I took Spanish, not French.)
BTW, movies are rarely shot on film anymore. So can we still call them films? Is it like album, that has both meanings now? What shall we call them when we want to imply that they are more relevant than a "movie."
Just a reminder that my Annual Birthday Gathering is happening this Saturday, November 21st at my apartment. It starts at 8pm, (contrary to the FB announcement that said it was at 8am--stupid military time) and we'll probably start closing it up around 2:30am so we're not letting people go at the same time as the bars are letting out. If you want to show up before 8pm, please phone ahead.
BYO intoxicants, normal house rules apply. Again, contact me with questions.
It's the triumphant return of spicy Mexican Dip! We'll also be having a pastry filled with nutella, spinach dip with crackers, and the ever-popular pineapple bundt cake I do every year that I don't do a trifle. We can probably expect a trifle on NYE again.
We'll be hosting many of the usual party guests, along with some peeps from my work, a really cool guy I went to school with (Dan and Paul will likely agree with him politically), and maybe even my brother. It shall be A Night to Remember, but not in a sinking of the titanic kind of way. Get it?
Pressies are by no means required or expected. But several of you have asked, so here's a link to ye olde Amazon wish list. Know that I always appreciate people asking for the link so I have an excuse to post it. ;-]

Have a great party! I was so jealous while reading your menu that I considered recreating it for myself and partying with you in spirit, but I have no such energy. I will live without the menu and send my spirit to pary anyway.
